Birthday Evening

Dress - Topshop (old), Boots - Asos

So as you can tell from these pics, the evening of my birthday was rather a drizzly one. This came as a surprise to noone in my family as, bizarrely enough, it has rained on all but two of my birthdays in my entire 21 years - as a tip, never plan anything on the 22nd of August in Europe!!

The rain wasn't going to dampen our spirits though, instead we popped open a bottle of pink fizz, donned our dresses and headed out to dinner at the most divine village restaurant ever...but more of that to come in my French post pt. 2.

My lovely friend Natalie gave me this dress recently and I adore it but hadn't had an opportunity to wear it so this seemed the perfect occasion. I paired it with my favourite new boots from Asos which I love so much they currently sit on a shelf in my room (sad??) as I really like the print clash with the two. Sadly it seems, as I suspected would be the case, that the boots are currently sold out! The style name is 'Reward' if that helps in case they come back into stock.
